Yeah.. so hit and miss. I always check reviewers specifically the ones.. then view other shit they've reviewed to get a gauge if they're legit or not. There's a legit ramen spot that at first had mixed reviews.. some were like.. this isn't like top ramen.. this is fucking expensive.. etc. FFS.. I tried it out anyways after waiting in 1 hr line.. it was legit. Too legit.

i dunno what I did.

yesterday morning, my UPC battery back up died, emitting a loud bomb-like count down sound.
i shut the machine down to disconnect the battery UPC and upon start up, KDE was the default instead of GNOME that i was used too.

i then tried to fix it my self by restarting the machine and clicking shit, which resulted in a deletion of the GNOME profile/environment.

oops.

Gotta get myself a new UPC. My computer is plugged directly in the grid now. :|

Guy is being too vague. No pics no deal. Good pics though I'd pick up his car if the price was good and damage could get fixed through PDR. Fix then flip. The hail cars I've seen here (happens extremely rarely) could not get fixed that way.

Ramen here is not happening...wife and I make our own. We purchase a package from the local groceries from Sun Noodle. From what I read, Sun Noodle is actually one of the largest suppliers of ramen noodles to most of the ramen shops in NA.

Anyhow, they have their own ramen kits.

Otherwise, if I want something from a restaurant, the closest for me would be all the way in Vancouver.

They prep the chashu for days.. not to mention the tonkatsu broth.. fffuuuuu.. and I have no idea what wizardry they use to make ajitama so golden, and buttery sweet cholesterolly goodness. homersimpsondonuts.

It could be the paint here easier to scratch from the winters & snow brooms.

Hail storms are rare here, I've seen 2 that had hail big enough to damage property.
I'd do PDR on a hail car if paint wasn't scratched and I could flip it for +$2K after a weekend of work. Tedious and boring but easy money!

For some reason that makes me chuckle.

It's perfect minus the main seal, worn seats and steering wheel, leaky shocks and shuddering tranny.

PDR isn't for amateurs.. I've banged out fenders including some that were completely caved in.. but getting metal back to a pearly flat form is art.

We see hail at least a couple times a year. Sometimes big fucking storms.. we got hit with one a few years ago with tennis ball sized hail. I ducked it but everyone I knew had their car destroyed.. I'm talking about not just blown out windows.. blown out headlights too, fuck.

trust me, I know...I've tried my hand at fixing fenders that had hidden bondo and dings...it's DEFINITELY an art...

that hot glue ding puller is actually not bad but you can't over pull...a rubber mallet or rounded wooden handle, you can actually hide a lot of things.

Oh I agree, I don't think I could personally do it (wouldn't even attempt), but you always know a buddy of a buddy that can work it out pretty decent.

We don't have tornadoes and crazy winds and hail storms here, what we get for bad weather is just tons of snow and fucking cold. Not sure which is better, but tornadoes and hurricanes scare the shit out of me.
